Very helpful customer service

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: I've been using BookyWay ever since I started my business and it has always been relatively easy for both me and my clients.

Pros:

Great value for money, easy to use for both administrators and clients, and extremely helpful customer service, I can't thank those guys enough. Very responsive and reliable, they'll respond to every query and answer all of the questions that people who aren't great at tech, might have.

Cons:

I manage the timetables for an exercise club and it would help if I could just copy the whole week's timetable to the next week, rather than add classes one by one. I know I can schedule for the month ahead, but it would help if I could copy one of the previous weeks or months cause the classes change sometimes.

Thanks for your review and your suggestions about better timetable management. We will consider it in our development roadmap.

Easy to use Booking System for customers

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Very good customer service. I have e-mailed on many occasions and got all problems solved

Pros:

Its so simple and easy to use. Gives my clients flexibility to book onto classes and unsubscribe if they change their mind.

Cons:

I would love to be able to have all my members birthday's on the system so that I can easily see who has Birthday's each month. I would like to send a group e-mail to all the clients on the system at once, it currently doesn't allow you to send to everyone. I would also like to use my own pictures, it would be far more personal having group pictures of the clients who come to the class.

Invaluable booking system

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: I started using BookyWay during the COVID pandemic due to restrictions in the fitness industry. I have been a small gym owner for 25 years and this has been one of the most valuable tools I have introduced into my centre for class control and client communication.

Pros:

Easy to use. Choice of language. Clear insight into daily/weekly bookings. Reasonably priced.

Cons:

At times the software can run a little slow and be a little ‘ jumpy’ Very limited choice of exercises for client personal programme.

Small improvements can make this much better

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: It does the job I need which is create a timteable and allow customers to book into classes. The customers find it easy to use. But the admin side for making changes is a little poor and can be frustrating.

Pros:

For the customer the app is great and easy to use

Cons:

For admin it's a bit of nightmare making changes, especially if you notice a small mistake on a recurring class and then you have to go delete the class and renter everything. A feature such as allowing changes for all future classes like Google calender would be ideal. Also most changes need to be done on a pc as the phone browser is not very good. An app for the admin would also be great.

Bookyway

4.0 last year

Pros:

I wasn't expecting the class creator but I loved it. I planned and recorded different lessons on using the equipment we sell and the techniques we teach. They really caught on. It's affordable and it's really easy to reach out to Bookyway for help.Web based but you can use on anything.

Cons:

It just wasn't for me. I like the standard booking features and this doesn't have all of them plus it isn't easy to integrate with my payment processing and point of sale software. It might be great for someone else but just not me.

Great Booking System

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: Free to start and set up and use. Easy to add courses and classes. Ease of use for members via mobile app or computer. Fairly cheap after initial free trial period to continue to add new members.

Pros:

Easiliy accessible via Mobile App, and computer. Ease of use for members and for instructor to add classes and courses.

Cons:

Would like it so that either parent (especially in split households) can book their child. Two parents/carerers per child.

Pros:

Once you sign up, it is easy to get your email and password set up to be in the App quickly. The app is easily accessible on your phone and can send you reminders you have scheduled an event.

Cons:

I wish there were more hovers over txt to direct you what to do. It is very user friendly but for first time users, it would be nice to have on-screen directions.

Avis sur les commandes de bookyway

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: Je crois en l'application bookyway qui pour moi n'est pas encore terminée mais l'avantage d'avoir une plateforme qui se développe constamment avec l'écoute des clients et une facilité d'encodage pour l'administrateur .
La facilité d'utilisation.
Les interfaces simples mais ludique.
Le prix qui est avantageux pour un démarrage d'activité et qui permet de donner un avantage client conséquent et chouette !
Le gain de temps
La gestion qui peut se faire partout

Pros:

la fonctionnalité de l'interface qui permet de gagner du temps La facilité à mettre un horaire et les infos La simplicité de l'encodage

Cons:

- Le manque d'option pour le fichier clients par exemple la possibilité de joindre des fichiers tel que fiche médical en annexe que la personne pourrait insérer et compléter elle même directement. - De pouvoir ajouter facilement un PDF en annexe ( sans passer par une adresse internet) pour un cours déterminé ou pour une personne ajouter un fichier PDF à l'utilisateur - De pouvoir joindre en PDF les factures que les clients puissent en recevoir directement via l'application.- - De pouvoir envoyer des notifications aux clients comme par exemple rappel de paiement ou rappel de cours - De pouvoir mettre un interface de boutique pour le centre avec les produits populaires - De pouvoir envoyer des notifications sur les ateliers et les places disponibles restantes comme une pub - De rappeler les paiements au gens ( en lien avec le fait d'y ajouter une facture) - De pouvoir mettre l'agenda du bookyway sur le site Internet avec un lien direct via bookyway - De pouvoir changer une-deux fois (max) l'adresse mail d'un client sans devoir payer une nouvelle fois 1€ - De pouvoir personnaliser avec nos propres photos pour les encodages en acceptant qu'elle puisse rentrer dans une banque de donnée pour l'appli du coup - D'avoir plus de couleur disponible dans les types de couleur d'un event ( pour mon cas j'ai plus de 10 cours et donc certains on les même couleurs)

App utilissima per Associazioni Sportive Dilettantistiche

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Come riportato nella sezione vantaggi, la app si è rivelata particolarmente utile in periodo di pandemia, in cui è necessario rispettare le normative legate al contenimento dei contagi, emanate non solo dal governo ma nel caso della nostra associazione, anche dalla federazione sportiva a cui siamo affiliati e dal Comune che ci consente di utilizzare le proprie strutture.

Pros:

L'utilizzo della app ha decisamente semplificato la gestione delle presenze nelle sessioni di allenamento indoor (c/o Palazzetto dello Sport Comunale) in questo periodo di pandemia, in cui è necessario fornire al Comune l'elenco delle persone in caso si verifichino dei contagi. Tramite la reportistica della app, in modo semplice e veloce, è possibile scaricare gli elenchi occorrenti. Inoltre, la app risulta molto comoda per tenere sotto controllo le scadenze dei soci (es. visite mediche), il totale delle ore da pagare al Comune per l'utilizzo della struttura indoor. L'interfaccia risulta gradevole a livello grafico e soprattutto molto intuitiva, a oggi comprende tutte le funzioni necessarie per gestire la nostra associazione sportiva. Semplice non solo la parte amministrativa, anche i nostri soci che la usano tramite smartphone non hanno rilevato problemi di nessun tipo. Il collegamento alla app è stato integrato facilmente anche sul sito web dell'associazione.

Cons:

Se proprio devo trovare una mancanza, che comunque incide pochissimo sul mio giudizio, è relativa alla personalizzazione degli sfondi app: avrei preferito avere la possibilità di caricare delle immagini personali, invece è possibile scegliere solo tra quelle proposte dal sistema.

Programma eccezionale per la gestione clienti

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Migliore gestione dei clienti velocità e semplicità, gestisco le schede e gli allenamenti perfettamente come voglio e da qualsiasi postazione.

Pros:

Il software è semplice intuitivo e non ha troppe pagine dove entrare uscire ecc. è tutto ben messo e diretto massima gestione di semplicità, l'assistenza è ottima, richiedono e ricevono consigli da chi lo usa e apportano le modifiche se ritenute valide cosa che è accaduta a me personalmente, come si dice? Le varie cose si migliorano in team e devo dire che lo fanno egregiamente.Il programma non occupa spazio sul telefono e tutti i miei clienti lo usano con piacere e mi confermano che sono tutti soddisfatti.Grafica pulita e molto piacevole colori al top accattivante c'è tutto quello che serve in più il software è in continuo aggiornamento sempre con nuove funzioni.Lo consiglio a tutti per la serietà, la gestione semplice, assenza di abbonamenti vincolanti, economico per chi vuole cominciare praticamente indispensabile.

Cons:

Il campo delle descrizioni sotto il nome dell'esercizio nelle schede scompare la descrizione quando scrivo molto, ma a me serve molto per dare indicazioni ai clienti on line.

La prenotazione in un colpo di click

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: La semplicità di utilizzo porta ad un notevole risparmio di tempo per gestire : utenza,painsesto, tessere. Nel tempo di tre anni sono state implemenate tantissime nuovo funzioni in base anche alle nostre esigenze; non per ultimo durante il periodo dello lockdown sanitario , l'implementazione di gestire classi da remoto con link e piattaforme di videoconferenza. L'azienda è sempre attenta a tutte le nuove esigenze del mercato del fitness.

Pros:

Il software è di facile utilizzo. L'installazione è semplice e rapida, le prenotazioni sono in tempo reale così come le cancellazione dalle lezioni.Ogni istruttore registrato può vedere le sue classi e marcare le presenze ai corsi per la statistica. La programmazione del palinsesto è intuitiva attarverso le maschere di inserimento.La gestione delle iscrizioni , certificato medico è sempre sotto mano per ogni utente.

Cons:

Se si vuole apportare una modfica all'utente nel caso di cambio mail o errore nel nominativo , occorre utilizzare un altro credito. Forse si potrebbe eventualmente gestirlo in maniera di modfica non essendo un nuovo utente.

La migliore applicazione per la prenotazione di attività sportive

5.0 last year

Comments: Nel periodo Covid, è stata imposta la prenotazione obbligatoria. Al termine dell'emergenza sanitaria si è mantenuta la prenotazione tramite app in quanto risultata estremamente comoda ed efficiente sia lato utente che amministratore.

Pros:

Facilità d'uso; Vantaggi all'attivazione; Economicità; Assistenza immediata, estremamente collaborativa e cordiale. Risoluzione dei problemi in tempi molto rapidi.

Cons:

Alcune difficoltà iniziali nella programmazione delle attività che hanno costretto a rifarla più volte, soprattutto in caso di modifica in corso d'opera.Alcune scadenze non ancora visibili lato utente che a volte bloccano la possibilità di prenotare senza che l'utente capisca immediatamente il perché.
